The 2026 Golden Globe Awards kicked off awards season last night and as with all awards ceremonies there were some winners and some —how do we say this politely—people who did not win. Of course it’s easy to track who has piled up the most nominations or taken home the most awards in any given season, but the competition on the red carpet is a little less clear. That’s where you, VF reader, come in.
We asked you to vote for your favorites from our best dressed list, and here’s why: Starting today through the rest of awards season, we will be tracking who you think are the best dressed celebrities overall. We will be updating this leaderboard with your votes after each major awards ceremony to see who is winning the red carpet competition. (We are big about democracy here at VF.)
The Y axis shows the top 10 celebrities who are currently in the lead, the X axis represents the amount of votes. And yes, you can still vote and this chart will be updated periodically. Click here to vote on our Golden Globes best dressed list.
After the Golden Globes last night, the people have spoken and we have our first winner: Timothée Chalamet! The Marty Supreme star wore an all-black Chrome Hearts look, which he paired with Timberland boots like the born and raised New Yorker that he is. I can tell you that the outfit was somewhat divisive amongst our fashion team—for starters, the head-to-toe black was startling to some after a run of great and colorful, even if also monochromatic, looks. There’s also the fact that this was a slightly less dressy version of Chalamet than the one who won last week at the Critics Choice Awards in a pinstripe double breasted suit by Givenchy. It was, plainly, his more straightforward look of the season. This is why I liked it, and why he made the list—Chalamet is a clothes chameleon, and this showed his range while showing that menswear on the red carpet doesn’t always need to be a black tux. It doesn’t even need to involve a tie!
Amanda Seyfried’s ethereal Atelier Versace look took the second spot, with Miley Cyrus trailing right behind. As awards season progresses, expect some of these names to fall off to make way to new ones—that’s just the name of the game! Chalamet’s early lead should come as no surprise here. He’s an awards show and red carpet darling, often making best dressed lists or at least sparking conversation with his outfits. (And hey, at least he wasn’t wearing orange last night!) There’s also the fact that Chalamet took home the award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy—we can’t blame you, our dear audience, for wanting to give him a bonus!
Will Chalamet maintain his lead? Can someone else enter the top 10 after the next big show? We’ll have to wait and see.
